Recapture the Beat ‘Em Up Magic

Thinking of Double Dragon takes me right back to middle school, when playing side-scrolling beat ’em ups at arcades, 7-11s, ice cream parlors, and so on was a regular thing. This September, Double Dragon: Neon is hoping to recapture some of the classic gameplay of yesterday when it releases on XBLA and PSN.

For about $10 on both platforms, this revival of the classic beat ’em up will offer coop gameplay with all the tropes you’ve come to expect from the genre – lots of weapons, special abilities, power-ups, and a variety of locations.
